denotes would be excusable. The more
distinct in individuality nation may be-
come the stronger that nation is, and every
effort should tend to render ours so.
Social customs and habits, literature,
political and economical administration,
should all be carefully made individual,
and those who initiate foreign social
customs and habits, who copy foreign
style in literature and oratory. who advo-
cate foreign political and economic meas
ures, should be regarded not true Ameri-
can citizens. That such class exists is
to be regretted. Its members are to be
pitied. Their tendencies show not only a
lack of appreciation of our institutions but
even an inability to appreciate them.
When inferior clothes are worn because
they are English or French, the persons
guilty of such nonsense are sure to be
capable of further folly. 1t is best to
carefully consider their opinions and re-
commentators before acceding to theil
suggestions. This class of people is the
class which conspicuous as Mugwumps in
politics, or English, you know" in Gus
toms and manners, are to be "put upon
the list'' for careful inspection by all who
wish to make America in every particular,
distinctly American.
Daily Kennebec journal. [microfilm reel] (Augusta, Me.) 1870-1975, 1887-08-25
To be put Upon the List.

American institutions are regarded by
the people belonging to other nations
with a great deal of curiosity. There is
great reason for such curiosity when the
marvellous growth of this country, in way
of population, wealth. and influence are
considered. No nation of modern times
has equaled it in any particular, in the
rapdity and proportions of its develop
lie not only in the energy and capability
of its citizens but also in these distinct in
situations which excite both foreign curl
ositv and admiration. These institutions
are all founded upon those of the old world
but have peculiar improvements which
afford greater expansion OF the abilities
of the people. So great are these improve
ments that other nations not slow to recog-
uize them, copy from them and as far as
possible, Americanize their institutions.
Most conspicuous among these limitations
is the change in methods of government.
But there is an end to these limitations.
They are Initiated by conditions which
cannot be overcome except perhaps in a
long course of time. Copy as they will,
American institutions remain distinctly
American. In view of the degree of pros
perity realized by our people and recog
nized by other peoples due to these insti-
tutiops, it becomes the duty of every
American citizen to fasten and improve
them. If our methods of government
have tended to improve the condition OF
the people then the people are in duty
bound to protect and keep intact those
methods whatever they may be. 1t il
natural tor mankind to look upon
whatever belongs to his neighbor and see
qualities which he himself does not dis
cover. In this tendency can be found the
eagerness of many to improve upon our
institutions By incorporating peculiarities
of foreign institutions upon which our own
are acknowledged Improvements. Though
ours are not b. any means perfect, this
course is little inconsistent. If attempts
to improve were founded upon mistakes
disccrned in the methods of foreign insti-
utions, which may suggest remedies for
imperfections in our own, then such ten.
